Terraform has an interesting quirk. Security groups can be defined inline using 2 different methods. Like in Ghostbusters, you should never cross stream. Mixing methods might be valid but it causes unexpected security settings. CoGuard is the only IaC scanner that identifies the overwritten rules sets.
Default configurations for PaaS providers maybe different than the default cofigurations for the same applications in a Docker container. We use three different IaC configuration scanners to identify configuration settings including a tradeoff data integrity vs uptime in Amazon MSK. #iac #aws #kafka #config
We evaluate the configuration for setting up AWS GPU VPC and VPNs using CoGuard, Snyk and KICS #aws #cloudformation #iac #config #backups #configuration

You can use this article as a guideline for your own projects, and it is not restricted to React/NodeJS specifically. We have shown how to initialize a project, and the components that need to be present. With this article, you get a sense on what it takes to fix the initial items that are flagged. Maintaining a clean report for each tool as you build the project will set you up for scale, and give you confidence that your changes will not break things that easily.
This article demonstrates how to start building a react application, get it committed to GitHub and set up linting and code scanning. Then we set up and use GitHub Actions, Docker, Docker Compose, GitHub Secrets and CoGuard to build and secure the initial CI/CD pipeline.
CoGuard CLI adds configuration file security scanning support for OpenTelemetry users. CoGuard provides OpenTelemetry users an automated pre-deployment security scanning tool that identifies and scans Collector configuration files and their dependencies for known misconfigurations and vulnerabilities.
The goal of this article is to serve as a tutorial on the creation of Jenkins Scripts to add security configuration analysis using CoGuard-CLI to your Jenkins Pipeline.
Generating and maintaining a list of cloud resources is a challenge for DevOps and IT departments that are not using IaC. We look at how to generate a list of resources and configurations across providers (AWS, GCP, Azure, etc.) and include ways to make the list portable using TerraForm.
In this short article, we are going to show you an example script on how to include CoGuard’s CLI functionality into your BitBucket Pipelines.
